San Antonio: Part II

okay okay here it is! sheesh! :) and it's gonna be short now cuz it was awhile ago!

Day 3: Saturday

loooong show day. and it was crowded!!! luckily we still had the Jennifers to keep us entertained when it got late and hard to keep standing. we were so tired later that we didn't even want to do the 5 minute drive home to get cleaned up for dinner. plus, it was pouring rain. so, we went straight to River Walk in jeans, sneakers, and our company name everywhere and went to a nice Italian restaurant :) even when the boys called to go dancing, we decided sleep sounded like more fun! so CC went back to her room and Steph and I ended up crashing to SNL an hour earlier than usual (dang central time). did anyone else see the Ashton Kutcher episode? surprisingly funny!!! his Kevin Federline impression was hilarious! (I look like I stink, yo. but I don't yo...)

Day 4: Sunday

ahhh the LAST day of the show. luckily it wasn't as crazy as Saturday so we hung out and just talked to people and had fun. and to give our stuff away, we graduated from carrots to flames. now, I originally called everything this as a joke, and Steph and CC made fun of me. but wouldn't you know then they started saying it too! and CC even started telling customers we were giving them flames because our company is so hot! oh lord. anyway, long story, but we were giving away green bandanas stuffed in orange can coolers and then red bandanas, so I gave them names :)

I have two favorite Sunday moments, one from the show and one after: my first is when I told Fernando/Jennifer about the "party" tent a few down from us (I was just kidding around-- it was a booth selling a bunch of kinky stuff). So he takes me down to the booth, puts his arm around me, and says "this is my wife. what do you have for us?" and that was the start of Fernando being my husband... I posted a pic below :) The second greatest moment was back in our room: see, Steph bought chaps. and no, she doesn't own a bike or a horse. you can figure it out from there :Þ well, when she first bought them, Eddie (Jenny) put them on her. Well, then in our room on Sunday she tried to put them on herself. OMG!!! she was rolling around on the bed and jumping around, and after 20 minutes, she STILL had not figured them out. so funny!!!!! I guess that's what boys are for...

anyway, we had to say goodbye to the boys Sunday, so we packed up and headed out. and since it was our last night and we wanted to make the most of it, we went back down to River Walk and had a nice dinner, took the little fun cruise thing, and hung out for awhile at a cool little martini bar. good times in the big city. I was kind of sad to pack up! I absolutely love travelling. I could have stayed another week.

Day 5: Monday

CC does not realize how silly Steph and I can get, and when we were exhausted from a long week and ready to leave Monday, it started coming out! Steph started scatting, I started hissing ("is there a snake in the car?!") , and we were getting lost all over the place. we should've known that was a bad sign too-- when we finally returned the car and got to the airport, we found out our flight was delayed. and of course, by the time we got to Atlanta, we got there just in time to watch our connecting fight pull away from the gate. oooh so much fun.

well, a couple hours and a few large drinks at Friday's later, we finally caught a flight home. and by then all of the stupdity wasn't as funny anymore and we all just needed to be done with all the travelling. we did have fun on the plane, though! did you all used to play MASH in elementary school? oh we definitely broke that out 15 years later for some good old kiddie fun :) I found out I'm going to marry Danny Devito and live in a shack... lol. anyway, I'm back (as you know), the trip was fun, and I'm already bugging our event people to go somewhere else! gotta love vacation on company money!!!!

anyway, that's the whole story. and I'm posting the rest of the pics below so you can check em out. I am traveling again this weekend to NoVA for some wedding stuff with Steph, so that should be another nice little break. now I have to go clean though so that when my friend-slash-cat-sitter comes over, this place isn't a disaster area :) later all!
